Some instruments risk losing their place in modern music because you can't plug them in. Beat Roland to the punch!

I would also like an electric dinner at some point in my life. Cyber-steak sounds delicous.

Re: Inventors! Electrical Instruments of the Future.
I could make the electric cowbell and shaker egg pretty easily. What's a hambone? I thought it was when you slap your thighs rythmically-- as in, "I gave your mom the hambone last night".
Correction-- I gave your mom the electric hambone last night.

Re: Inventors! Electrical Instruments of the Future.
If I fill a shaker with bb's (or other small metal objects) and then affix a pickup to the shaker, will the bb motion be detected by a nearby pickup? That is my frivolous question for the day.
An experiment for a cold winter night.

Re: Inventors! Electrical Instruments of the Future.
Yes, assuming the bb's are of a ferromagnetic material, and it's an electromagnetic pickup. Or, you could use a piezo and it wouldn't matter what the shaker materials were.Tatertot wrote:If I fill a shaker with bb's (or other small metal objects) and then affix a pickup to the shaker, will the bb motion be detected by a nearby pickup?
